Amidst all the mindless chatter I sit,

Submerged in my pool of thoughts on life and its ridiculous matters,

And then a random thought fell from God knows where,

Into my opaque pool,

The strongest emotions of a man have but four letters,

Love
Lust
Hate
Like

All these had four different letters

With different significances, they all have gravity,

Each of them connected in one weird way,

"I like you" is the first way of defining attraction to a fellow human,

And that emotion seems so subtle but leads to two bridges,

Love and lust are greatly mistaken at their early stages,

But sooner or later both emotions grow and differences can be found,

Love is pure and without blemish,

the journey may be rocky but at the end its worth it,

Lust may look like love but its a mirage,

Once there you fall into a bottomless pit and it only gets worse,

Hate, it could be seen as pure as love

Opposite emotions both powerful.

Hate can't be described but when its felt, you recognize it without hesitation.

Love could also turn to hate and vice versa with the snap of two fingers,

Like could morph to love or lust,

Emotions are shape shifters, so beware.

Many up's and down's,

but in the long run

Love will conquer all.
